Create a CLI and API like wslc but for Windows containers

The current issue is the dependency on Docker and the docker cli for Windows Containers. We would like a native solution from Microsoft for Windows Containers. This would be similar to wslc, but fully compatible for Windows containers. This could be done by leveraging existing Windows container APIs and the containerd container engine for Windows containers.

I have also opened an enhancement feature on github for Windows Containers a month ago but there has been no feedback.

Microsoft needs to step up and make Windows/ Windows Server containers on par with linux containers
